Falmouth Art Gallery Fun Palace: Dive into a Day of Creativity and Community This November

Mark your calendars for an exciting day packed with creativity and hands-on fun at the Falmouth Art Gallery on 9th November 2024. This event, part of the national Fun Palaces campaign, promises a diverse range of free activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

A Day Filled with Creativity and Exploration

Visitors will have the chance to immerse themselves in a variety of workshops and interactive experiences. From trying out life drawing with the Falmouth Life Drawing Society, sketching a costumed model, to participating in junk modelling and badge making with Kernow Library of Things, there is an opportunity for everyone to get involved.

For those keen on exploring the digital realm, Cornwall Film Festival will be showcasing stop-motion animation and virtual reality experiences. Attendees can also enjoy media screenings or have a unique chance to go live on air with 10 minutes of broadcasting at Source FM.

Engaging in Conservation and Community

The day isn’t just about art and media; it’s also a chance to contribute to environmental conservation. The Ocean Conservation Trust will be present, guiding attendees in making nutrient balls to support seagrass restoration efforts. This hands-on activity not only educates but actively contributes to local ecological efforts.

Local artists, makers, and community innovators will be on hand, sharing their expertise and enthusiasm. This focus on community engagement underscores the heart of the Fun Palaces ethos: celebrating local skills and passions while bringing people together.
